How to Telnet to a single Server Multiple Times.

[Neelimaix]

Hi all ,
I am trying to write a script to telnet to a single server multiple time ..
i am able to login once .but the loop doesnt seem to be workin . can anyboy help me in this regard.

my Expect script :
cat telnettest
#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
spawn telnet lilo.sanjose.hgst.com
expect "Name"
send "anilsaka\r"
expect "Password:"
send "*****\r"
interact

My Shell Script :
#!/usr/bin/ksh
i=0
while [ $i -lt 4 ]
do
`expect telnettest`
i=$[$i+1]
done

 

[PHV]

i=$[$i+1]
I'd try this instead:
i=$((i+1))

Hope This Helps, PH.

Actually for the Korn shell, the cool way is...

(( i += 1 ))

Hope this helps.

Neelimaix: do you know where the loop get stucked? My bet would be the telnet session itself. Do you close the telnet session, or it just keeps waiting for commands?
